Posted on the first Monday of every month, Poetic License consists of eight carefully selected poems for your reading pleasure from the thousands posted across the Internet daily. I only want the best for those who make it through the sea of blog posts to my blog. I hope you truly enjoy this month’s selection. If there is a particular poem that you find moving, please visit the link of the poet and let him or her know.

Coming home.Upon the ground there are red roses, lying on white.As I walk through them, I approach the darkness.Strong. Blue. Black.Can’t hear, but I see smiles.Whose smiles?Movement. Feel it.Can’t do it.Who is this? I didn’t know, but now I am sure.From where? Leaning.But is it sturdy? What happens if it is not?I do not know.Tell me. I wish I knew.Clarity.Why risk it? Why invest?Maybe it is worth it. Maybe it is not.Lying. Future. Possibility.Smashed!La la la.Why not?Okay.I want to see the options…Where are they going?I wish I knew.

As tears they flowmy feelings so overwhelming.The happiness, when joy falls like beautiful pearl drops.The pain, like shattered melted glass beadlets…The passion at its peak, when love melts and flows:Every sinew feeling the beauty of the worldin the beloved’s arms.A fear, so great that it trembles its way out every nook: Yes I have lived, yes I am alive;In every tear that I shed as I live:Mirrors of my soul,My tear filled eyes.
